Full Plot Details

The role of the June, 1969 Stonewall Riots - so named for the Greenwich Village gay hotel and bar, the Stonewall Inn, in front of which the riots occurred - in gay liberation and the foundation of gay rights in the United States is presented. The riots are largely seen as the turning point in establishing what gay rights there are today. The societal situation for homosexual men and women - including the laws of the day - in the mid-1960s before the riots is presented. Those include forty-nine of fifty states banning homosexuality, homosexual men and women being able to be arrested for a plethora of reasons outside of gay sex (those reasons for which straight people would probably not be arrested), the rise of a homosexual enclave in among other places a one block stretch on Columbus Street in Greenwich Village, and no homosexual man or woman in the United States truly being "out". Those involved on both sides of the riots discuss the situation that led to the first night truly becoming a riot, it which could have been like any night in any large American city where the police were raiding gay bars for the purpose of arresting homosexuals. And the immediate aftermath is discussed, including a celebratory first anniversary event in the Village, which arguably could be considered the first open gay pride parade.

Movie Reviews

Seattle Times - 10/10 by Moira MacDonaldIt comes alive through the memories of those who were there.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by David WiegandThe film's final words are simple and to the point, and come from the retired cop, Seymour Pine: "You knew they broke the law, but what kind of law was that?"
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Mark Feeney"This was the Rosa Parks moment,'' another participant says, "the time that gay people stood up and said, 'No.' ''
The New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenMethodically ticks off the forms of oppression visited on gays and lesbians in the days before the gay rights movement.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasA moment had come that had to be seized, which in turn gave birth to the gay rights movement. On June 28, 1970, New York held its first gay parade, and as one of its participants remarks, "Stonewall lives on" in all the gay parades ever since.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Carrie RickeyThe film gracefully telescopes a lot of information in its brief running time.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanStonewall Uprising does an evocative job of coloring in the oppression of gay life before Stonewall, so that when the eruption happens, we feel its necessity in our bones.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 8/10 by Joe WilliamsThe first half of the film dusts off some kitschy picket-fence footage and alarmist news reports to invoke an era when homosexual acts were illegal in 49 states, and gays were subjected to arrest, electroshock and sterilization.
The Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Frank ScheckFor an event of such seismic social importance in the modern era, the 1969 Stonewall riots went shockingly undocumented. Almost no archival footage exists, which gives Kate Davis and David Heilbroner's documentary feature Stonewall Uprising the frustrating air of an oral history lesson. But it's a vitally important one nonetheless.
Variety - 8/10 by Ronnie ScheibIn astounding detail, Stonewall Uprising recalls the now-famous three-day riots in June 1969 after a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a popular Greenwich Village gay bar, as homosexuals finally, openly fought back.
